To all vhom 'it may concern.

Be it known that I, CASEY MALLERY, a citizen of the United States,residin at "Natchez, in the county of Adams and tate of Mississippi,have invented new and useful Improvements in Razors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to razors of that ty e known as the safety razor,and the the guard .through the medium of a resilientclamping element,and the shank being provided with a projecting finger portion wherebythe blade may, be swung upon the handle andretained in proper positionfor use by With the above and other objects in view, which will appearas the description no grasses, the invention resides in the novelconstruction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described andclaimed.

'which is positioned In the accompanyi 'drawing there has beenillustrated a sinip bodiment of theinvention, and'in which: Figure 1is'a perspective view of the improved razor. Fig. 2 is a sectional viewupon the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the end ofthe shank upon the clamping member of the bladef Fig. 4 is a sideelevation of the blade. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the 6 is adetail perof the outer end of the shank spective view formed the razorupon which is integrally guard.

In the drawin a razor handle of this handle comprising a members betweenwhich is a sitioned the blade of the razor when the latter is in closedposition. Pivotally connected, as at 2, between the spaced members thenumeral 1 designates the ordinary, construction, air of spaced 7 of thehandle 1 is a shank 3, also of the ordinary construction and having,what may be termed a finger hold extending rearwardly beyond its pivot,and throu h the e shank Zinay e addesired angle in relation to the heshank 3, in the present instance", is provided with a cut away portionor pocket 5, and has its outer surface formed medium of which just/ed atan e and preferred em" when positioned upon the bla apted to be powith aright angular flattened guard (3. This guar 6 has one of itslongitudinal edges provided with spaced upwardl inclined teeth -or guardmembers 7 an the outer transverse edge of the guard is bent downwardlyat a substantially ri ht an le to provide a wall 6. The longitufinalec?e of the guard opposite that provided with t e teeth 7 has its outercorner cut away as designed by the numeral 6 so as to position thevertical edge of the offset 6 directly in a line with the inner face ofthe pocket 5.

The numeral 8 designates the razor blade employed with the present.device. This blade 8 is preferably V-shaped in cross section, as clearlyillustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawing, and has its side, opposite thatofits cuttln edge provided with outwardly extending ugs or projections '9,which are adapted to engage with the pocket 5 and the wall 6 of theoffset side 6 of the uard 6, thus providing a means whereby t e blademay be positioned upon the guard 6.

The numeral 10 designates the resilient clamping member of thedevice.This member 10 comprises an upper longitudinally extending lip or face11 and a lower longitudinally extending face 12. The said faces beingdivided from each other through the medium of 'the integrally formedwall 13. The faces '11 and 12 are arranged at an angle with eachotherto' correspond to the cross sectional V-shaped blade 8 and areadapted do and guard to effectively secure the said blade rigidly uponthe guard' From the above description, taken .lll connection with theaccompanying drawing, it will be noted that I have provided an extremelysimple and comparatively chea article for the purpose set forth, onewhic incorporates all the advantages of the old style razor whereby theshank and handle may be adjusted in relation to each other so as toaccommodate the blade to the use of the operator and which providesdetachable blades which may be easily and quickly positioned upon theguard or removed theredescribed the invention v the guard member, theguard having its outer end provided with an ofi'set wall, a bladeprovided with ofl'sets adapted to be positioned uponthe nerd and to haveits ofiset portions engaging the pocket of the shank and the edge of theoffset portion of the guard, and a resilient clamping member comprisinga single element having upper In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
